II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

For the facility-specific amendment 

requests shown in this notice, the 

Commission finds that the licensees’ 

analyses provided, consistent with 

section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Notice 

for public comment; State 

consultation,’’ are sufficient to support 

the proposed determinations that these 

amendment requests involve NSHC. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendments would not (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of 

a new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated; or 

(3) involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on these proposed 

determinations. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determinations. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendments until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue any of these 

license amendments before expiration of 

the 60-day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves NSHC. In addition, the 

Commission may issue any of these 

amendments prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

circumstances change during the 30-day 

comment period such that failure to act 

in a timely way would result, for 

example in derating or shutdown of the 

facility. If the Commission takes action 

on any of these amendments prior to the 

expiration of either the comment period 

or the notice period, it will publish in 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
88982 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 

the Federal Register a notice of 

issuance. If the Commission makes a 

final NSHC determination for any of 

these amendments, any hearing will 

take place after issuance. The 

Commission expects that the need to 

take action on any amendment before 60 

days have elapsed will occur very 

infrequently. 

A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by any of these actions may file 

a request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to that action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the 

Commission or a presiding officer will 

rule on the petition and, if appropriate, 

a notice of a hearing will be issued. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). 

If a hearing is requested, and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, which 

will serve to establish when the hearing 

is held. If the final determination is that 

the amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

and make it immediately effective, 

notwithstanding the request for a 

hearing. Any hearing would take place 

after issuance of the amendment. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c). 

For information about filing a petition 

and about participation by a person not 

a party under 10 CFR 2.315, see ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20340A053 (https://

adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/ 

main.jsp?Accession

Number=ML20340A053) and on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/ 

adjudicatory/hearing.html#participate. 

B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings, including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the ‘‘Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC’s public website at 

https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by 

telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1) 

request a digital identification (ID) 

certificate, which allows the participant 

(or its counsel or representative) to 

digitally sign submissions and access 

the E-Filing system for any proceeding 

in which it is participating; and (2) 

advise the Secretary that the participant 

will be submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. ET on the due date. Upon receipt 

of a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email confirming 

receipt of the document. The E-Filing 

system also distributes an email that 

provides access to the document to the 

NRC’s Office of the General Counsel and 

any others who have advised the Office 

of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., ET, Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 88983 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission.

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments 

to Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses 

During the period since publication of 

the last monthly notice, the Commission 

has issued the following amendments. 

The Commission has determined for 

each of these amendments that the 

application complies with the standards 

and requirements of the Atomic Energy 

Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and 

the Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing in connection with these 

actions, were published in the Federal 

Register as indicated in the safety 

evaluation for each amendment. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that these 

amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for these 

amendments. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.22(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated in the 

safety evaluation for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

each action, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The 

safety evaluation will provide the 

ADAMS accession numbers for the 

application for amendment and the 

Federal Register citation for any 

environmental assessment. All of these 

items can be accessed as described in 

the ‘‘Obtaining Information and 

Submitting Comments’’ section of this 

document.

(EGC) to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG), as well as the direct transfer of the 

Zion licenses and conforming amendments, from ZionSolutions, LLC (ZS) to CEG. The approved conforming amendments were changed by replacing EGC with CEG, as the licensee, now that ZS has completed its decommissioning of the Zion site outside the boundaries of the on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and the actions described in the Zion License Termination Plan have been completed. The completion of the 

Zion decommissioning outside the boundary of the on-site ISFSI and the name change of 

the licensee from ECG to CEG was evaluated in the NRC safety evaluations 

(ML19228A131, ML21277A248, ML22076A012, and ML23286A306) supporting termination 

of the Zion licenses outside the boundary of the on-site ISFSI.

IV. Notice of Issuance of Amendments 

to Facility Operating Licenses and 

Combined Licenses and Final 

Determination of No Significant 

Hazards Consideration and 

Opportunity for a Hearing (Exigent 

Circumstances or Emergency Situation) 

Since publication of the last monthly 

notice, the Commission has issued the 

following amendment. The Commission 

has determined for this amendment that 

the application for the amendment 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

Because of exigent circumstances or 

emergency situation associated with the 

date the amendment was needed, there 

was not time for the Commission to 

publish, for public comment before 

issuance, its usual notice of 

consideration of issuance of 

amendment, proposed NSHC 

determination, and opportunity for a 

hearing. 

For exigent circumstances, the 

Commission has either issued a Federal 

Register notice providing opportunity 

for public comment or has used local 

media to provide notice to the public in 

the area surrounding a licensee’s facility 

of the licensee’s application and of the 

Commission’s proposed determination 

of NSHC. The Commission has provided 

a reasonable opportunity for the public 

to comment, using its best efforts to 

make available to the public means of 

communication for the public to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 88987 

respond quickly, and in the case of 

telephone comments, the comments 

have been recorded or transcribed as 

appropriate and the licensee has been 

informed of the public comments. 

In circumstances where failure to act 

in a timely way would have resulted, for 

example, in derating or shutdown of a 

nuclear power plant or in prevention of 

either resumption of operation or of 

increase in power output up to the 

plant’s licensed power level, the 

Commission may not have had an 

opportunity to provide for public 

comment on its NSHC determination. In 

such case, the license amendment has 

been issued without opportunity for 

comment prior to issuance. If there has 

been some time for public comment but 

less than 30 days, the Commission may 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment. If comments have been 

requested, it is so stated. In either event, 

the State has been consulted by 

telephone whenever possible. 

Under its regulations, the Commission 

may issue and make an amendment 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the pendency before it of a request for 

a hearing from any person, in advance 

of the holding and completion of any 

required hearing, where it has 

determined that NSHC is involved. 

The Commission has applied the 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has made 

a final determination that the 

amendments involve NSHC. The basis 

for this determination is contained in 

the documents related to each action. 

Accordingly, the amendment has been 

issued and made effective as indicated. 

For those amendments that have not 

been previously noticed in the Federal 

Register, within 60 days after the date 

of publication of this notice, any 

persons (petitioner) whose interest may 

be affected by this action may file a 

request for a hearing and petition for 

leave to intervene (petition) with respect 

to the action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the guidance 

concerning the Commission’s ‘‘Agency 

Rules of Practice and Procedure’’ in 10 

CFR part 2 as discussed in section II.A 

of this document. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the 

Commission has determined that the 

amendment satisfies the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant 

to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment need be prepared for this 

amendment. If the Commission has 

prepared an environmental assessment 

under the special circumstances 

provision in 10 CFR 51.12(b) and has 

made a determination based on that 

assessment, it is so indicated in the 

safety evaluation for the amendment. 

For further details with respect to 

these actions, see the amendment and 

associated documents such as the 

Commission’s letter and safety 

evaluation, which may be obtained 

using the ADAMS accession numbers 

indicated in the following table. The 

safety evaluation will provide the 

ADAMS accession number(s) for the 

application for amendment and the 

Federal Register citation for any 

environmental assessment. All of these 

items can be accessed as described in 

the ‘‘Obtaining Information and 

Submitting Comments’’ section of this 

document.
